Join us as we learn from John Prolly, founder of The Radavist, about how to shoot stunning bike photos like a pro. From choosing the right angles to editing tricks, discover how to showcase your bike with professional flair.
Heck yeah, Dustin. Stoked on how this came out and it's so wild to think how long we've each been doing this stuff! Mind blowing. Thanks for your super professional job here. Means the world. xo
I remember the first time you shot the builders behind the bikes, with the bikes out of focus, and it absolutely made me pause and think “damn! I’ve never seen that!”
And of course everyone copied it immediately!
@@mitchellconnell7893 😂
You shared all your secrets....except.....what is the bike stand
DK, what have you done to me? I felt empty last week, couldn’t figure out why, and then I realized it was because there was no EBD coming into my feed. Hope you had a good, healing trip.
I was on my walkabout. But Im BACK BABY ;)
Every major hobby must have an equally important minor hobby to support the major hobby. Or something like that. Bike needs camera.
Super nice!
Very cool. Great video just hearing John talk about his process. Thanks !
I had a feeling this one was going to interesting. Talking with John had way more depth then I expected...such a cool experience to be able to share.
This guy is a lot better than me and did things that I would consider errors, which means I just saw past the horizon of my abilities. It's always a good day when you get new lessons handed to you.
This one is a keeper. There were several things I learned from John on this as well.
#prollyisnotprobably
This video satisfied my daily dose of 2 things I can really nerd out on: bikes and photography 🤘🏽❤😎
My work here is complete!
@@EverythingsBeenDone for this video yes, but don't quit yet, keep them videos coming 🙏🏽
You had me at "crank lined up with the chainstay".
its WilAMMette goddamnit! 😂
What a fabulous episode! Well done, friend. John Prolly seems like an awesome dude. Love the Radivist.
I'm an architect, ride bikes and are into photography. You couldn't have made a more niche video for me! Love it and what great insights from such a cool person!!
I really liked this video. Thank you.
This makes my day Alex!!
Cool point of view from a cool dude.
Well said!
man... you don't have an idea how many times I have scratched my head asking 'Who is holding that bike???' in his pictures...
That was tight. Tips from the master.
Side note, was visiting Portland last weekend (from California), my Girlfriend and I are eating alone in a completely empty Vietnamese noodle place on Saturday. She says to me, "Don't you follow a bike UA-camr who lives in Portland?" Less than 15 seconds later, Ellie (DK's wife) walks in and sits down at a table. I'm like... how is that even possible? We didn't bother her but just whispered about how unlikely that was amongst ourselves throughout the rest of lunch. Small world.
Such a nerd - love it! Good stuff.
Thats what we are here for!
That does it. My 5d3 and 70-200 are heading out to photograph my newish Fargo. My pics of it suck. What a maestro! Great, informative video, again. Thx. 14:10
This makes my day!! It would be really cool to see your previous photo next to your new photo(maybe carousel on IG?)
@@EverythingsBeenDone I shot my Fargo, and put the pics on my Smugmug site. I need to reshoot a few to hide irrelevant stuff.
"You don't have to be crazy about it." - Don't tell me what to do, John! I'll be as crazy as I want.
Bawhahahahaha you go grrrrl
GET CRAY!
This is a real working photographer... you can tell because he's part of the UV filter/no lens cap mafia 😂
#SayNoToLensCaps haha
Very well done. Thanks for this one. Love the behind the scenes and process perspective.
I remember meeting John briefly at Golden Saddle many years ago. I had bought a used custom frame off of eBay and needed something from the shop. He immediately noticed a bunch of details about the frame that I hadn't even noticed. That he brings this level of detail to his bike photography makes total sense. Cool video!
Great video, great ideas to shot bikes
greetings from argentina
Still miss when the site was called Prolly is Not Probably!
That was very good, loved every minute.
So thrilled to see all the StravaGram photos this inspires!
Always rad to hear from John Prolly Not Probably! His pics are always the icing on the cake on any radavist article!
Hey did John give any info on the bike stand he’s using or how to get one?
I miss prolly is not probably
gr8 video, THX!
The quality of the light during the interview in this is amazing. Well done - Looks dope 😎
Best light of the weekend!
Loved this. I always used Nikon stuff back when I was shooting press jobs, but the R series stuff from Canon is *Saul from Coming to America voice* BEAUTIFUL
Ive stubbornly stuck with Canon since film and the R series is legit (I have R6 & R5c)
wooo I was following Prolly is Not Probably before he turned into Radavist!
Thats whats up!!
Whoa!! Prolly in not Probably!!
In the digital ;)
its a yearly honor/highlight of mine to have a bike shot by JW --- lens master of the bicycle --- nice video!
My favorite UA-cam content creator showcasing my favorite facebook page?!?! Sweet baby Jesus bike geek worlds colliding !!! Great content as always!!! 👍🏼
Best bicycle photography on the interweb. Fact.
Rad stuff! Been waiting for an episode with the Radavist himself!
Very nice indeed love the nerdy bike talk since I’m always talking nerdy bike talk haha.
Great looking pictures as well!.
To much braging on very simple subject~
Hey Dustin! Thanks for the video. Would you know where he got the bikestand propping thing? Thanks man!
Loved every second of whatever this was. Keep doing what you're doing. Both of you.
Awesome, really like how John is breaking down his thought process and showing the end-result. Inspiring.
Hell yeah. Awesome stuff. Keep up the great work.. both of ya.. and all the Made folks too.
Apropos of nothing, Sycip has the sweetest head tube badge.
6.5e-18 parsecs is a great focal length for shooting bikes
I don’t think I take a ride without at least one photo of the bike I’m riding. Great video, great photo tips. Great creativity from both of you……ENJOY THE RIDE
I'd love to get a bike stand like that.. Love it. And thanks for the video..
Well that's upped my Insta....
I missed some "Blow up" references. 😅
Darn, I'm gonna have to bring my 70-200mm on the rides to take the stupid Strava shots from now on...
Your best video by far and one of the best I've seen in a while. Maybe because I like cycling and photography 🙂
I’ve been following his work since the Brooklyn fixed gear Prolly days, but to say he is “single-handedly responsible for setting the standard of bicycle photography to this day” is really disrespectful to all the other working photographers in the bike industry. I really admire that John focuses his work around small builders and the cottage cycling industry, but I swear some people act like the dude invented the 70-200 lens lol.
Buy Cycle Ad is ironic since Prolly was owned one tine by TPC…
Who remembers #prollyisnotprobably ?
Now these are some top tips from the man himself. Great hearing John speak about his work, he seems so positive and enthusiastic. Thanks Dustin!
Thank you for this video, I love his style and I am stoked to have learned the basics through this video. About to take my photography to the next level with these tips!
That was VERY cool. Take that guy on a ride with you and your posse and ask him to take some photos along the way! By the way, 02:50 the word ACTUALLY is spelled wrong. Sorry. Can't help it!
I really like this interview. As someone whos main hobby is photography who just gets into bikes, this ticks all the boxes. Also "everybody's lookin at their shit on their phone" hahaha this is so true :D
John probably has that same drawer I have filled with lens caps. Need that stick tho, relying on luck finding the perfect wood stick when I wanna shot bikes is not a strong strategy.
Makes me want to get a 70-200 even more now 😅
prolly is not probably 😘
what a nice guy!
Abang-abangan 🫡👍🤝
Prolly gonna be a good vid.

@johnprolly is a true gentleman. Through the overlanding/4x4 scene years ago he offered me a place to stay if I visited stateside. Always love seeing his photographic work.

Great tidbit! Being a hobby naturalist too! I love getting our Ericameria nauseosa in fall bike portraits here in Santa Fe!
